EMAILNOTICES>no 'NEEMATE 10 G'A novel granular
pesticide of botanical origin used for the control of soil borne pests
including nematodes. It is recommended for soil application. The active
ingredients include a careful blend of Neem seed constituents
collectively called ' Neem bitters ' They are coated or absorbed on to a
selective carrier material of agricultural origin so that persistency
and stability of the active compound are enhanced in this medium. The
mode of action is both systemic and contact type.
Being a granulated bio pesticide , the
formulation has the following advantages :
Ready
to use , no mixing.
Drift hazard is low because
particles settle quickly.
No Spray , little dust
; means low hazard to application.
Totally bio
degradable
Slow release for prolonged action
Can be used as IPM component.
Widely recommended as soil insecticide to

‘NEEMATE 10 G’ is a neem based
nematicide which can be used to control root-knot nematodes affecting
fruit crops like bannana , vegetables crop like Tomato or field crop
like Chick pea.Chemical pesticide , carbofuran , is widely used to
control nematodes. However , Carbofuran has been banned in many
countries because of its adverse effect on environment and inherent
toxicity. The enclosed field data conducted at Gujarat Agricultural
University , Derol Station (1994-96) show that Nico Neem 10 G is as
effective as carbofuran. However, being a botanical pesticides it is
free from those defects.
